if u dont intend on getting a taller cylinder later then do the 12's or 10's...u shoudlnt have a problem with the 10's, its possible u might if u use 12's but youll still get the same amount of lift with the 12's as u would with the 10's just gives you a lil extra room....u can run 14's and youll still get teh same lift as u would with the 10's but gives u the option of doing a nice 3 wheel or standing 3 wheel if u run 2 pumps to the rear.... and if u think youll go bigger later on u may as well just get the 14's and save urself the money of having to buy 2 sets of cylinders...either way 10's, 12' or 14's youll get the same amount of lift until u run into pinion angle problems if u ran taller cylinder, just with the taller ones it gives u room to play

Well i can fab a drop mount and extend my upper arms, and a longer brake line. ater that wut all do i need

depending on the cylinders, u may need to extend ur lowers between 1/2 inch and up to 2 inches. but thats only if u have pinion angle problems that extending ur lowers would help compensate for....may also need to either shorten ur driveline about 1.5 inches or get a slip n stub that black magic sells

on a side note, if u extend ur lowers any distance u need to take that into account on how much to cut off the drive shaft to shorten..for instance people will leave the drive shaft stock and extend the lowers 2 inches. which pulls the drive shaft out of the tranny that 2 inches...or they will leave the lowers stock and shorten the driveline 2 inches...so just know what ur doing before hand

ok... so dat mean i need to go to work! n so if i exten the lower by so many inches is how much i need to take off tha shaft and add a yoke.?

if u do a slip n stub u take off the same amount ur putting back on.. so if the slip n stub is 8 inches long, then u take off 8 inches on the driveshaft. that way u can also extend ur lowers as well if u wish.. i believe my lowers are extended about 1.5 inches

heres my regal with drop mounts. roughly 5 inches not sure cuz i never measured when i did them..i have a slip on the drive shaft and adjustable uppers and lowers and they are roughly adjusted to 1.5 inches
